Publish your business book with a clear plan

Bring your book into the world with confidence.

Make informed publishing decisions with a clear view of your options, opportunities and trade-offs. Get experienced help with the practical work between manuscript and publication.

Choose the route that fits your goals

The right route depends on your reader, your timetable, the control you want and how the book will support your business. We help you weigh those decisions before committing to submissions or setup.

Traditional publishing
Explore whether a publisher submission is appropriate and what will make a clear commercial case for your book.

Hybrid publishing
Compare the proposed investment, services, distribution and responsibilities of a paid publishing partnership.

Independent publishing
Choose the formats and platforms you need, then organise the practical work to make the book available to readers.

You do not need to have chosen a route before booking a Clarity Call.

What support can include

Each route needs a different mix of preparation and practical support. These are the services we can discuss; your proposal confirms the specific work included.

Document or record

Traditional Publishing

Build a submission around the reader, the book’s central idea and the commercial case for a publisher. A strong proposal helps communicate the opportunity, but the publisher or agent decides whether to offer representation or a contract.

Publisher Partner Pack
Support can include research into suitable publishers and literary agents, a submission-ready book proposal and tailored cover letters. The proposal for our work defines the research and submission support included.

Already have a publisher?
We can discuss manuscript preparation to the publisher’s requirements, liaison with the publishing team and support through agreed editorial and production stages.

Publisher acceptance, publication dates and sales are not guaranteed by WBR.

Layout or columns

Hybrid Publishing

Understand what a paid publishing partnership offers before deciding whether it fits your goals. Hybrid arrangements vary, so the details of the offer matter more than the label.

Compare the offer
We help you examine the services, total investment, distribution arrangements, rights, royalties and responsibilities described in the publisher’s offer.

Prepare and coordinate
Support can include a Publisher Partner Pack, liaison with your chosen publishing team and oversight of the agreed preparation stages.

Your proposal distinguishes WBR’s work from the services and fees of the publisher.

Brand or marketplace

Independent Publishing

Publish through platforms suited to your book and chosen formats, with professional support for the setup. We help you make informed decisions and coordinate the agreed steps.

Formats and platforms
Discuss paperback, hardback, ebook and audiobook options. Platform selection may include Amazon KDP, IngramSpark or other suitable providers. Each format has its own preparation requirements and is separately scoped.

Setup and retail presentation
Support can include ISBN guidance, file preparation and checks, uploads, metadata, categories, keywords, pricing and distribution settings. Back-cover copy, product descriptions and Amazon A+ Content can also be agreed.

Accounts and handover
We agree whose accounts and ISBNs will be used, which setup tasks WBR handles and what access and handover you receive. You provide the information and approvals needed for your accounts and book.

Retail availability does not guarantee bookshop stocking, promotion or sales. Platform review and processing times can affect the publication date.

Your proposal confirms the publishing route, formats, deliverables, responsibilities, timings and investment. Editing, design, audiobook production and marketing are included only where agreed. Publishing is one stage of the WBR Book Creation Processᴵᴾ; we can connect it with the support you need before and after publication.

A clear division of work, from preparation to handover

What WBR handles
We organise the guidance, preparation, liaison or technical setup agreed in your proposal. We make the key decisions visible so you know what needs attention and when.

What you provide
Your manuscript and existing files, details of any publisher offer or platform accounts, and the information needed for your chosen route. You review the work and approve the final files, book details and publication decisions.

Before the book goes live
We agree the required formats, who approves each stage and how account access and files will be handed over. If your manuscript still needs editing or design, we identify that work first.

After publication
Making the book available is the beginning of its commercial life. Book marketing and the connection to your wider business can be planned through Promote and Propel, with the scope agreed separately.

Author Testimonials

Authors describe their experiences across planning, publishing and using their books in business. These are individual accounts of their projects, rather than promises of the same results for every author.

2 years ago I went on a book writing boot camp with Georgia. Without this structure and considered start I would not have been able to create my first book. Her approach and knowledge in getting my idea into a framework set the direction and I’m forever grateful. It took me a while and some collaborations to finally complete. But now done! I have already recommended a number of people to Georgia and I will continue to do so. Smart, structured and caring.

It is a bit early to say, but so far the book has generated us 21 referrals in 3 months, of which 6 have already had or are booked in to have initial meetings. So I’d say that’s a pretty good start as we know that even if no others booked, and no other referrals arrive, which I do expect them to, we are likely to generate around £50,000 of fees this year from these 6 new prospective clients.
